It's that time of year again, the weather starts showing some semblance getting warmer. Or it doesn't. This winter has dragged on and on far too long. I remember last years March anti-war demo was so warm I got a mild suntan, whilst on this years one I almost got frostbite.

My mum wasn't too impressed either. "Onde foi o verão?" she asked me, and I got the idea for another dreary depressing song.


Also in the news of the Fruityloops Orchestra, we are officially endorsing a candidate in the council elections in the Bevois ward of Southampton. Nick Chaffey of the Socialist Party is the only candidate standing to save St. Mary's Leisure Centre, to oppose all cuts to public services, oppose privatisation of these services and highlight the exploitation of the influx of immigrant workers of often half the minimum-wage and the effect this has on driving down everyone's wages.

So remember the slogan

Blue Labour, Tories and Lib Dems are all gadgie
Save St. Mary's, vote Nick Chaffey
